Car Fire Injuries in Virginia

Call Our Richmond Auto Accident Lawyers

According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are roughly
267,000 vehicle fires a year that cause around 441 deaths annually (and
many more injuries). The NFPA calculates that there is a car fire reported
every hour, with a fatality a little more than
once a day. Injuries from a car fire can result in permanent disfigurement, severe
chronic pain, lung damage, and immunodeficiency complications—leading
to a severe loss in the quality of life and a person’s ability to
make a living. If you or a loved one were harmed in a car fire, you may
need a skilled car accident attorney.

Who Is At Fault for My Car Fire?

Many people may consider a car fire to be their fault—lack of maintenance,
fault of the crash, or other factors may suggest that it was the injured
party’s fault, or that it was a freak accident. However, neither
is likely true. By far, the most common cause of vehicle fires is due to a
defect, such as mechanical failure, or design flaws. Roughly half of all car
fires are the result of mechanical failure built into the vehicle, meaning
your car’s manufacturer is liable for the injuries you’ve received.

However, the most injurious and fatal car fires are not the result of mechanical
failures, but of crashed or overturned cars. When a car has flipped or
damaged, leaks in the engine and environmental heat can lead to ignition.
At the same time, the driver and passengers in a flipped vehicle are far
more vulnerable to being trapped in the car. These conditions have led
to more than half of all the deaths associated with a car fire. Flipped
vehicles are most often the result of a deformed tire or another driver.
Having a professional investigator look into your crash may provide the
answers your case needs.

Hiring an attorney experienced with car fires and auto accidents is vital
to protecting your rights. The sooner you call a lawyer after your accident,
the more likely that they will be able to access and preserve crucial
pieces of evidence. For instance, at Cantor Stoneburner Ford Grana &
Buckner, our investigations begin the day that we are retained—that’s
how important the evidence-gathering stage is. Our trial victories are
won in the months and weeks leading up to a trial, not only through skilled
litigation.

Protecting Injury Victims Since 1979

If there’s one thing our Richmond auto accident attorneys understand,
it’s your need for compensation. Painful and lifelong injuries often
wear away at our financial security, both by keeping us out of work and
by incurring costly expenses. Our greatest ambition as injury lawyers
is ensuring that our clients are taken care of for their rest of their lives.

When insurance companies and corporations offer far too little to our clients,
CSFGB is more than ready to take their claims to court to let a jury decide
their award. Many companies want to avoid this as much as possible. As
a result, our firm rarely receives lowball settlement offers. With nearly
100 results in the seven and eight figure range, attorneys who have case
results filled with multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements, and
a team that routinely secures the largest verdicts in the state, there’s
only one sensible answer—call Cantor Stoneburner Ford Grana & Buckner.

Reach out to our firm at (888) 337-0477. We can answer your questions
and help you take the next step in a free legal consultation.
